I got it all mounted and 500 rounds worth of Q-pods. I still need my tank cover to get finished, but CO2 hasn't let me down. I want to paint the new exposed areas also.

Here is a short video: http://files.filefront.com/QA_5MPG/;4685954;;/fileinfo.html - http://files.filefront.com/QA_5MPG/;4685954;;/fileinfo.html There was some broken paint in the marker before filming. I was using these cheap Fuego balls that even broke with the cyclone feeding them. Better paint would allow faster firing, but I wouldn't play with it faster then this. *notice my ghetto grip.

Very nice. I'm still not sure if I want one yet. As always, nice paintjob. Front sight looks like it's on backwards. if I did get it, I'd want the loader going along side the gun, not under the barrel.
Nice job

Maybe it is backwards?
I thought for a couple seconds about running a vertical tank and have the Q-pod come out backwards onder the grip. Then put on a 3" barrel.

Bashing an A-5 on the Tippmann forum  CO2 friendly and no batteries are valued to me.

That grip looks awesome, and so does that camo. DId you buy one of the a-5 qloader kits or did you do it your self?
Awesome gun one of the nicest non mil sim a-5's I've seen.

I bought the Q-loader kit.
Thank you all for your comments... next I tackle the sights, to make them lower profile. Then a little touch up painting where the cyclone was.

But seriously, with all the money you just poured into your A-5, you could have had a Good Cocker, or a Mag... But to each his own.

I know but I would have to front the cash to buy a marker like that. I didn't pour it in this one, it trickled. I got bills and priorities. Upgrading it as I played allowed me to appreciate the difference the new parts made, as well as add as I could afford.
Out of the box you'll love a high end marker... but I got more joy from each evolution of this one. It works great. One day I will have an awesome mag and the A-5 will become secondary.

Evolution of an A-5:
When I bought the A-5 I got the RT, 10" barrel, and Tippmann Expansion chamber. Next 12" barrel & drop-forward, polishing: http://img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc000625uz.jpg"> Then R5 hopper & Male Palmers with guage and a RVA: http://img384.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc002882sj.jpg"> After that a paintjob and "Super RT" (not in this photo), also spring work: http://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc003657np.jpg"> Finally HPA tank, grip tape & Q-loader: http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc005398to.jpg">

But i would really like to see it in action (links didn't work) or some pics of it on grass, bush, etc. just to see how well it blends in.
